Words can't describe how much I miss you Dad. I thought I'd put this picture up here because Bear was your best buddy. As hard as it is I hope you're in peace now I hold on to that thought and I know you are. R.I.P. and thank you for always being there for me. I miss you so much and I'm always going to please give Mom a big hug for me.
